My artwork is inspired by the beauty and mystery of nature as well as my concern about the impacts that humans are having on our world. Much of my artist's "palette" comes from natural, local, and recycled materials especially those we produce on our organic farm (The Farm Between) including wool, yarn, and natural dyes. My focus for several years has been in fiber arts, mixed media, and encaustics. I have a BA in studio art as well as degrees in biology/ecology, English, creative writing, and environmental engineering. I have my own gallery, Northwind Arts, in Jeffersonville, Vermont
